New merge.fm features

Well, it’s been 2 weeks since launch and we have some new features to let you know about.

1. Each artist now has a free preview song that is open to the public to give people a chance to try it out. Look for this indicator on the preview songs:
   

2. Artists can now see how many subscribers they have when logged in on their artist page.

3. We’ve revamped the landing page and video, as well as added a new “for fans” and “for artists” section to help explain what merge.fm is all about. You can also check out the video on youtube and use it to spread the word:

So far, Elsinore and Withershins have racked up a few subscribers and we’ll be sending them checks next month. Congrats guys! We’re just now starting to bring on bands and work closely with a select few to figure out what works best to make this thing awesome for your fans. If you’re interested in signing up your band, check out the instructions at the bottom of the artist’s page:

As always, drop us a line anytime if you have any questions or feedback. Looking forward to hearing from you.
